TLDR Temporary scalp trichopigmentation creates a shaved hair look on the scalp using pigments that fade over time.
Temporary scalp trichopigmentation (STP) was an innovative technique designed to create the illusion of shaved hair on the scalp using pigment, differing from standard permanent scalp micropigmentation (SMP) by not being intended to fade. This unique procedure was developed to address issues with earlier permanent techniques and involved specific equipment, pigments, techniques, and protocols. The chapter discussed the potential advantages and disadvantages of STP, with its indications being similar to those of permanent SMP.
